  Thanks for the listens and comments. You definitely are right on the "Crushed Bones" sample! Good work. Digging your tunes as well...Stupid Little Fish really stands out to me so far.

  I didn't forget your kid comment on Napalm Lipbalm presents Ow, Ow, Ow. I've been trying to get my poor, obsolete computer to create mp3s instead of wavs so I can email you the track. It would be great to hear it with drums! Sorry for the massive delay.

• deepseacavalry 2 months ago

  I've got another one... I'm at a snails pace though. Hopefully I get done.

• synapsis 2 months ago

  A colourful characteristic is certainly an understatement..... very colourful and undescribable! )

  Thanks for the detailed comments sir, much appreciated. 'Heron' set out to rip off Baths and it seems I succeed (you are the 3rd to mention it) ! Now I've learnt how to, I can find my own sound though The whole synth dropping out is because it's sidechained to the bass drum, which Baths does, as does Flying Lotus, Justice etc etc.. it's easy to do:sound good ratio is a big win for me! The compressor I use is free: http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1315.html, and I followed this quick tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDY5LEkPCcE. Simple!

  Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed my song. . . and thanks for introducing me to Mark Kozelek. . . interestingly enough @degausser had mentioned Sun Kil Moon as well for one of my songs, so now I see the connection. I play that song in DADGAD tuning and after listening to a couple of Sun Kil Moon tracks tonight, I think he uses that tuning sometimes as well.

•  bradbrubaker 3 months ago

  Regarding drums for Napalm Lipbalm, I'll shoot you an email with the track. Thanks for the interest.

•  frenchcricket 3 months ago

  Cheers man - I can't resist a pop song I guess. In a bit of a lull now, waiting on my collab partners...

• kenjku 3 months ago

  Wow thanks! That means a lot. Glad you're enjoying my tunes cheers!

•  emcegg 3 months ago

  thank you so much! i appreciate the listen and feedback. excited to check out your songs too - and your friends' tunes!

•  adforperu 3 months ago

  Thanks for the comments dude, and I agree the intro is a bit daft and far too long! It would obviously be a filler 30 second pre-WHP track on the album... maybe it could be my half song, though that'd be totally cheating.

•  frenchcricket 3 months ago

  It's hard enough to collaborate with myself... Whatever that means. In reality I'm a ruthless editor... Like Piers Morgan in his pomp.
  
  Cheers for the kind words

•  debrandio 3 months ago

  Love love love the Flaming Lips
  thx

• heidiwiencko 3 months ago

  Thanks for the great comment! Looking forward to listening to your tunes, too, once I get a chance to get a break here at work!

• deafsteever 3 months ago

  Hey, how's it goin'? I just listened to your tune "Shoulder Peeker" on FAWMpilation 7.3. Absolutely smashing tune! Got you on my watchlist and I'm gonna check out your stuff (old and new) soon.
  
  Happy FAWMing! Cheers!

  CHEERS!
  
  If anyone doesn't like Folding Kemp, then you're no damn friend of mine

•  vomvorton 3 months ago

  Yeah! He was certainly one of the instigators / blog curators, anyway. Weird how it's having a renaissance now, perhaps Ross Kemp's folded face is a tonic for our troubled times.

• tomski 3 months ago

  I can't believe you've done 2 tracks already! I've got a busy weekend ahead me thinks!

•  girlsinuniform 3 months ago

  Marigolds are fine, friend. Just make sure you wash them between uses.

•  frenchcricket 3 months ago

  Hey man, glad you're back, fuzz bass wasn't the same without you

•  expendablefriend 3 months ago

  oi oi!

•  girlsinuniform 4 months ago

  It's here, man. The time has come to get your FAWMing wellies on.

•  vomvorton 4 months ago

  Happy 2012? Are you FAWMing at the mouth?

•  adforperu 4 months ago

  FIRST! Hope you're about sir, you were one of my favourites..
